IE6 is all but extinct. IE6 users MUST upgrade to IE7+. IE6 has lots of issues with modern websites and fails to deliver consistent results. PriMoThemes.com does not support IE6 for a variety of reasons; including security, the lack of support for PNG graphics, the lack of support for CSS selectors, box-model issues, hover support, and the list goes on. Please read the IE6 obituary notice for further details.
